Alcohol during ramadan.
I am flying in 1st DXB-DOH on the 25th September during ramadan. Does any one know if alcohol will be served in the lounge in Dubai or on the flight ? I dont want to sound like an alcoholic but Im blowing the budget for this short flight and would really like it to be full service. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Note the lounge in DXB is a shared lounge and governed by their policies. In past years at DOH lounges, I've noticed that they do not put food out during the day until sunset.
On board, I recall no difference in service.

In the lounge in the Premium terminal at DOH, no alcohol served during Ramadan. Food is out at the usual times but only in the dining area. On board service as usual.
In the shared lounge in DXB, food out as usual and you can get alcohol if you ask for it.
